This museum of modern and contemporary art features works by Goya, including his portrait of Fernando VII and Zurbarán, as well as lesser-known modern pieces. There are more than 225 pieces, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings, prints, video creations, and sound art.

Just 20 minutes from the city, the Montes de Malaga Natural Park is a good escape if you want fresh air and quiet. It’s all hills, pine forests, and winding dirt trails — great for walking, cycling, or just taking a break from the coast. If you're lucky, you might spot eagles, owls, or even a wild boar. There’s also a small museum that offers a glimpse into the region's traditional winemaking and olive oil practices. Best accessed by car, though there are also hiking routes that start just outside the city.

This Gothic building was restored after the 1941 fire and now, it welcomes visitors to its renovated interior. Relics include the skulls of Santander's patron saints and the tomb of legendary local writer Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo.

The Rainbow Street is in close proximity to some of the city’s must-see sites and acts as the tourist hub of Jordan. The sidewalks are wide enough for to accommodate long walks. It is an excellent destination for shops, cafes and restaurants, as well as delicious, quick bites. The weekend starts Thursday night here, with slowly cruising cars and strolling pedestrians. The street runs east from the First Circle to Mango Street, opposite the neighbourhood of Lweibdeh. Friday during the summer, Fawzi Al Maalouf Street, just off Rainbow street, becomes the Souk Jara.
